Coming Soon: Python W*S Client Library

Sean Gilles notes on his blog that he's at work on a Python client library for OGC Web Services. He writes in his blog about the project: OWSLib.

"OWS" is short for OGC(TM) Web Service. OWSLib is used by PrimaGIS to inspect WMS and WFS. It has a simple but effective capabilities document parser, and code for making web map context documents that probably has little use for anyone outside CPS at this time. WMC and SLD parsers are an obvious next step. There is a GML parser for PCL in progress which might also be of interest to OWSLib users.

OWSLib doesn't require the Python Cartographic Library. It depends only on elementtree or lxml. Your choice. There's no official release yet, but I expect to have one in October in time for the Seattle Plone Sprint.
